... ASTROBIOLOGY ROADMAP:  A MEETING OF EXPERTS In March 2013, NASA requested that the Space Studies Board organize a one-time meeting of selected experts and government officials to provide the latter with a synthesis of the compelling questions in astrobiology. This meeting of experts was an integral component in a multiphase, NASA-led project to update and revise the agency's Astrobiology Roadmap. This document elaborates a vision for the future directions of astrobiology research and serves as a foundation for discussions of astrobiology in the United States and abroad. Prior versions of the Astrobiology Roadmap were published in 1999, 2003, and 2008. NASA's Astrobiology Program devised a novel three-phase approach to the construction of the new roadmap. Phase one was the construction by NASA of a virtual community, engaging any and all scientists interested in astrobiology research. This virtual community employed a series of online workshops to identify and discuss major themes in astrobiology. The NRC played no role in this phase.

... The workshop participants from government and the research community engaged in a dialog that identified ideas for the future evolution of the decadal survey and mid-decade review processes by examining closely how the recent surveys were executed and are being implemented. A report summarizing the discussions and dialog that took place at the workshop, Lessons Learned in Decadal Planning in Space Science: Summary of a Workshop, was released on August 28, 2013.
